Melrose Place: Nouvelle Génération

OK...maybe this is just a huge plot inconsistency, which is not surprising on this show, even though I can't stop watching it...but what the heck happened to Josie Bissett's character, Jane Andrews...formerly Jane Mancini??? She comes in for 1 episode, tells everyone she is the new landlord because she inherited the building from Syd (Ummm...when did Sydney OWN the building...she is the landlord...and who does own it...Michael or Amanda?), moves into Syd's apartment, wreaks havoc on Ella's life all in the span of 1 episode and then was just gone with no mention of her again.

I would be OK with the logic of Oh...she just is out and about or something for the reason she hasn't been seen again...but the very next episode Violet (Ashlee Simpson...RIP on the show and THANK GOD) is rummaging through Sydney's apartment not to mention David and Auggie both making visits back that apartment also.

Plot inconsistency much, CW? I was hoping for at least a catfight with her and her ex-hubby, Michael Mancini.

Does anyone else know if I missed something? Did she say at any point in that episode that she changed her mind? I heard she is filming one more episode for the show but come on...a landlord that no one ever sees in a VERY small apartment complex??? Not likely to say the least and still wouldn't explain how these people are able to rummage through Jane's (Sydney's) apartment after Jane is supposedly living there.

Nice cameo by Jo (Daphne Zuniga) though. I love it when she says "I have a ton of memories from this place...most I would like to forget." LOLOLOLOL Don't get me wrong...I love this show and have watched every episode. That is really bothering me, though, and the fact that they are killing off the hottest guy at Melrose Place, Auggie.

And how did David become Michael's son and who is his mom? Michael didn't have any kids when the show ended or any time during it.

Melrose Place was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations, I thought I would be disappointed like I was with 90210 and it blew me away, really smart to hire an Oscar winning director to direct the show. Even Ashlee Simpson, who is usually an AWFUL actress, was not as bad as I thought she was gonna be, but that was due to smart editing, they focused more on Stephanie Jacobson, who was brilliant in her role as was Thomas Calabro who was great with his subtle cyncism, Laura Leighton doing manipulative brilliantly while adding a touch of humour, Shaun Sipos was also great, as was Michael Rady, they were all on point and sharp with their acting, and this comes from an actor who has studied and performed in theatre my entire life (me). I'm VERY nitpicky when it comes to seeing acting mistakes, I can't even watch Ghost Whisperer because of the atrocity that is Jamie Kennedy, but Melrose? Just brilliant, brilliant acting, brilliant cinematography, music, 10 stars.

There was a time where CW cancelled shows, just like that. And when you see old ratings, including those this show got, there's nothing to be ashamed of. And they even complement, the current standards for the network perfectly. Unfortunately as it aired ten years ago, choices needed to be made, and new shows needed to be pushed. So Melrose Place reboot got the boot, when things were starting to get interesting. Just like the original show, it took them several episodes to find its footing. And after the questionable murder/mystery sub-plot was handled, as well as some of the excess baggage cast members (again, just like they did, on the original series) The show was finally getting it right. I'm still bitter CW decided to pull the plug on it, in favor of another « drama » that ultimately flopped the following year. And was really looking forward to crossover episodes between this and 90210. But CEOs clearly did not want the show to succeed, otherwise they would've given it at least one last chance, to prove itself. How low things have gone since, and the so called changes they wanted for the network, made matters worse. And now that CW is the shadow of its former self, and promising shows like these, leave new viewers frustrated with « open door » endings. I can't really feel sympathy for the what the network is going through. Payback's a B...

I often close my eyes and shake my head when I hear about Hollywood remaking what seems to be every title that was successful in the past. I never watched the original Melrose Place, but knew who some of the characters were and understood the concept of the show.

When I tuned it to watch this remake I really expected to be disappointed, as I was with the pilot for the 90210 remake. I was actually entertained. Yes, the acting was average and who casted Ashley Simpson? She can't even act.

The story lines seem to conveniently center around sex and some just seem so made up. Writers, you need to think of better twists! Overall, the chemistry between the cast seems to work for me. This show has potential as long as the writers have a plan. Check it out.

I really like it. The original was awesome, and this version, although totally different, is just as good. I even like Ashlee. She is getting way too many bad reviews by haters. PLEASE give the show a chance and keep it on the air.

I think the scenes are well shot, and I like that it moves fast. There might be a few too many songs but whatever. I hope they can get some guest stars (real celebs).

I'm excited about seeing Heather Locklear. I hope Sydney is somehow alive because she and Michael were my favorite on the original version. Thank you for bringing it back, CW!
